Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ ELEGOO ABS-like UV Curing Additive Manufacturing Printer Products by Paul Dobson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Gray and pure red are great, pure blue not so much.

ABS-like gray is my color of choice for anything that needs painting. Red makes amazing prints and behaves the same as gray with the settings. However, BLUE is very viscous compared to red and I had to double the height of the support to keep it glassy rather than fusing all the supports together and ruining the underside of the print. It might have been a bad batch situation, but I used almost a whole kilo bottle of blue before I got it working as red. I suspect it has to do with blue being more transparent than red and how the color reacts to the UV curing process. I had to reduce the shift time from 2.5s on the Mars 2 Pro to 2s. Support height increased from 5mm to 10mm.

Pros
  • Outstanding performance: low shrinkage and improved print accuracy. Vivid colors, great detail, cures well without fading, high definition smooth finish
Cons
  • Not sure
